Honda Bikes at Auto Expo 2016 – NEOWING, CX-02 and EV-Cub

At the Expo, Honda is showcasing what it calls as the ‘future of mobility’ in the form of the new EV-Cub Concept (an environment-friendly personal commuter for short distances) and NEOWING (a three wheeled hybrid-powered vehicle). Other than these two highly interesting concepts, HMSI will also put on display two new concept models.

Easily the most exciting model for all the racing buffs visiting HMSI’s stall will be the Marc Marquez’s RC 213V racing bike. It maybe noted that it will be the first time that Indian biking aficionados and racing enthusiasts will get to meet Honda’s MotoGP tool in flesh.

Other than these new products, safely expect Honda to showcase its existing line-up of products. This means that the manufacturer could showcase all its recent launches along with halo products like the CB1000R and the Goldwing.
